The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort

  Shui Lian Yue's face was filled with confusion, and Hong Ying hastily explained the whole story to her.

  But Shui Lian Yue only then realized that the person who saved her was actually the one who had been embracing her in the Chu family.

  "Miss, I've never seen a man as refreshing as him. One glance and one smile make people feel especially comfortable." Hongyan stared at the corner of the bed with a dazed expression, her pretty face slightly flushed.

  "Tomorrow I'll talk to that person and let him marry you, how about it?" Shui Lian Yue rolled her eyes at Hong Yu, this girl was fine in every way, but whenever she saw a handsome man, she became like a lovesick kitten.

  "Oh my, Miss, you're really...", Hong Ying heard the young lady say that, her rosy little face became even more bashful, completely unlike her usual clever appearance, twisting and turning to rub the hem of her clothes, a perfect picture of a shy and coy young lady.

  After washing up, Shuiyue changed into a clean set of clothes and hastily left the civilian residence with Hongying. They returned to the Water Manor, not returning for the entire night. I wonder what kind of state Mother will be in.

  Little did she know, there was an even greater shock waiting for her.

  Returning to the mansion, she still climbed over the wall in the backyard. She didn't come back that night, but she didn't want to fall into the hands of the main wife and become a handle. After all, this was ancient times, and an unmarried woman who stayed out overnight would not only lose her reputation, but also be seen as an unclean and unchaste woman.

  Fortunately, Hong Ying was quick-witted and made up a lie, saying that the young lady had gotten up early and gone out for a walk to clear her mind, thus saving the situation.

  However, Madame's face remained gloomy and worried.

  Shui Lianyue also sensed the abnormality of the fourth wife, and slowly walked to her side, softly asking: "Mother, why are you frowning so early in the morning? Could it be that the big wives have come again?"

  Fourth Mistress shook her head for a long time, let out a soft sigh, and pulled Water Ripple Moon's hand over, choking with sobs: "Mother's Moonchild has grown up and become a beautiful woman, Mother is happy, it's just... early this morning, your father sent someone to invite me to the front yard, saying... saying... the second young master of the Chu family brought betrothal gifts this morning to propose to the Water family".

  Chu Yihua? Shui Lianyue was taken aback at first, then furrowed her brow and asked, "He's here to propose a marriage? I wonder, whose daughter is he?"

  "It's you, Moon, this is what your mother worries about the most", Fourth Madam tightly grasped Water Lian Yue's hand, her beautiful face filled with worry. She paused for a moment, then looked up at Water Lian Yue and said: "That Second Young Master of the Chu family is currently in our estate, saying he wants to see you. Your father may be displeased, but after all, the Chu family has received more imperial favors than our Water family. Who dares to offend them? I'm worried about you, you were betrothed to Prince Yu since childhood, who in the capital doesn't know that? And yet this Second Young Master of the Chu family is so brazen, openly and honorably coming to propose marriage, making your father lose face, where can he put his old face?"

  Hong Niang heard this and was somewhat perplexed. "If the mistress says so, wouldn't Miss become a sweet pastry? Why would the mistress still be worried?"

  Fourth Mistress looked at the red tassel and sighed, "The Water Mansion and the Chu Mansion have always been at odds, and your engagement to Prince Yu was proposed by your aunt, who is your father's own sister. Of course, she trusted her completely, but as for the Chu family... it's absolutely impossible! Moreover, they knew about your engagement and still came to propose marriage, clearly not taking Prince Yu seriously, nor showing respect for your father's face, and pushing our Water Mansion into a precarious situation."

  Shui Lianyue never knew that her mother was so formidable, being raised in the inner chambers and never leaving the house, yet she could still understand things about the outside world with clarity. It seems that her mother is not simple at all.

  "Little moon, mother is asking you, tell mother the truth, are you familiar with the second young master of the Chu family?"

  As soon as Shui Lianyue heard Chu Yihua's name, her face immediately turned somewhat gloomy. "I don't know him, and we're not familiar with each other."

  Why did she want to know him? Humph, Chu Yihua, when she heard this name, she wanted to kill people. If it wasn't for him stealing her elixir, how would she have suffered from the pain of the cold yin energy? Although someone saved her and alleviated some of the pain, only she herself was clear that the warm current could only temporarily suppress the cold yin energy. On the night of the full moon tomorrow, I don't know if the cold yin energy will recur. If it recurs, without elixir to suppress it, what can she do?
